Re: [Springframework-developer] Spring and axis

[Rob R. <rob...@ur...>]

Michael - it sounds like you want to have the classes that handle web
service requests loaded by Spring? As you mention, it's most likely not
possible to do this in Axis. If you're not forced to use Axis, you could try
the standard edition of Glue from TheMindElectric (free for most uses,
according to their website). Glue allows you to specify a factory for
loading objects, and it's very straightforward to use the Spring BeanFactory
for loading objects to handle web service requests. And that particular
BeanFactory can be configured specifically for your web services. It's a
very nice, clean integration. Invoking web services is also significantly
easier to do in Glue. If you can switch to Glue, give it a shot, I can find
some sample code too if you need it.
